Ya, the US doesn’t have the bike lanes everywhere but there are tons of shit roads that turn into great roads due to town/county/state invisible lines.
This post isn’t about open borders, it’s about the contrast in bicycle and road infrastructure between the Netherlands and other countries. The open border was just the setup.
The Netherlands has very specific urban/rural (re)design standards which are quite recognizable if you know them.
Well, yeah. There are guidelines for new infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean everything is up to date everywhere. There are roads that haven’t been resurfaced for quite a while that aren’t up to date. But on the whole it is very similar everywhere.
It’s only a small country though.
There is a Canadian YouTuber who lives in Amsterdam who makes videos about it: YouTube.com/notjustbikesI’ve lived here all my life so it’s nice to get an outside perspective on this all.
(Latin American fellow) At first I thought this was an Australia-style joke, because there are Spanish speaking countries in both hemispheres. Yep, I can overthink stuff and still be an idiot lol
Memeology is basically “here’s a funny thing that only got popular because a bunch of neo-nazis thought it was funny, then liberals wanted to fit in so they started using it too, then leftists started taking the piss out of it until they started using it unironically too, it’s only once corporations start getting involved does everyone agree to stop using it”
